Plain Cake Doughnuts
NO YEAST

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 quart oil for frying

Directions

1. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until smooth. Knead lightly, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter, or use two round biscuit cutters of different sizes.
3. Carefully drop doughnuts into hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd pan or oil may overflow. Fry, turning once, for 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.  

I Changed this recipe, a bit. Here are my notes:

• AWESOME EASY doughnuts!! - minus nutmeg. I used half and half, instead of milk. 
• FOR BEST RESULTS: Use a medium to small biscuit cutter or drinking glass, instead of a doughnut cutter. I cut the hole with the lid from the half and half carton. (I tried all three -third, being a doughnut cutter. Using a doughnut cutter made the doughnuts greasy, during the cooking process-due to the size.) 
• Cooking: I used an Emeril deep fryer.

Supa' Juicy 
Bacon And Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Prep time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

• 1 lb 10/90 ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 medium white onion
• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup A1 steak sauce plus and extra sauce to baste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 slices of bacon (turkey bacon, if you prefer)
• 2 slices Colby Jack cheese (or cheese of choice) cut in half

In a large mixing bowl combine the following ingredients: ground beef, egg, onions, breadcrumbs, a-1 sauce, salt and pepper.

Make eight very thin patties (you will be using two patties per burger). Stack patties, placing waxed paper between each patty. Cover and place in the refrigerator- while working on the next step.

• refrigerator time is important to this recipe- approximately 20-30 minutes is needed to meld flavors.
• You could easily prepare a day ahead. Placing the (covered) completely prepared burgers in the refrigerator until ready to grill.

Place bacon on a microwave safe dish and cover with paper towel. Place in microwave 4-7 minutes. Cook the bacon until translucent. Check the bacon halfway through the cooking process, to insure you do not over cook the bacon.  Remove from microwave and place on paper towels, blot to remove excess oil. Next, fold cheese small enough to place on the end one piece of bacon. Roll the Colby Jack cheese inside the bacon. Proceed until all bacon/cheese is rolled.

Remove patties from the refrigerator.

Time to assemble the burgers!
Take one patty, one bacon wrap, and place wrap in the middle of the first patty. Next, take one more patty and place on top. To seal the edges : Press edges with fingers or press the two patties together, while shaping with your hands (preferred method).

Continue until all 4 patties are made.

With a basting brush, brush the outside of hamburger patties with A-1 sauce, prior to placing on grill.  Continue basting with A-1 sauce throughout the cooking process.
Grill over medium heat, until a meat thermometer, placed inside, reaches 160 degrees and juices run clear.
